The Supreme Court's ruling on the SAVE database shouldn't affect the 2026 election. Under federal law, you can't systematically remove voters from the rolls within 90 days of an election.

They have! They have filed impeachment articles for Hegseth and Kennedy. HALEY STEVENS filed articles of impeachment against Kennedy. QUIGLEY filed articles of impeachment against Hegseth. They have repeatedly condemned Vought and questioned him. Stop rage baiting for clout.

Huge opportunity for a political party that believes government can do good things. Public opinion is finally shifting after 50 years of right wing anti-government propaganda. This isn't the time for cowering and throat clearing www.cnn.com/2025/06/01/p...
Most Americans now say the government should do more to solve problems

Everyone in the news media who acts as if anything about Trump and his administration is normal should live in shame and disgrace the rest of their life. They are worse than the Vichy French who conspired with the Nazis.

The legacy media sat there while Trump lied about the past elections and "joked" about running again in 2028. They did not boo. They did not walk out. They just sat there and ate their dinner. The journalists in that room will be remembered as the journalists in that room.

This is what I have verified about Taylor Farms and this administration: 1. Bruce Taylor met with Trump on 07/16/26. 3. The FDA reversed its previous warning about Taylor Farms on 07/19/26. 4. Taylor Farms gave $1 million to Trump's PAC. I don't know when, but that's what got Taylor the meeting.

In a 6-3 decision, SCOTUS overrules a 91-year old case (Humphrey's Executor v. US) & expands unitary executive theory to allow Trump to summarily fire members of the FTC because he feels like it. The majority held Humphrey's violates the separation of powers between the 3 branches of government.

Indeed, if I really wanted to not worry about such costs, I would sell my motorcycle, stop training in martial arts, and cancel all my subscription services. All that freed up income would then allow me to do grocery shopping without much concern. However, that wouldn't be a fucking life.

That sort of advice is in the same orbit as folks who told millennials to stop buying avocado toast in order to do things like pay student loans, buy homes, and start planning for the future. The problem wasn't the avocado toast: it is a financially unlivable world.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @mayor.nyc.gov · 25/06/2026
The Supreme Court just launched one of the largest attacks on immigrants in modern American history. Thousands of Haitians and Syrians now risk losing the right to live and work in the country they call home.

This decision will cause enormous pain across the five boroughs. Here in New York, it falls hardest on our Haitian community, one of the largest in the country, alongside Syrian families.

I joined labor leaders with 1199SEIU, elected officials, and advocates to send a clear message to immigrant New Yorkers: You belong here. We will not turn our backs on you.

The Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs will share additional information and resources soon. If you have questions about your status or need legal assistance, call our Immigration Legal Support Hotline at 800-354-0365.
